SBC MBB Tournament: Louisiana 79, Texas State 72

You still want Marlin go if they win the tournament ?

Yes. But I want to win. Great win today.

I don’t know what argument you’ve have. I mean tournament champs and an ncaa trip won’t get you fired.

He’s going to retire no matter what

What's the saying about a blind squirrel finding a nut? Coach Marlin has run his course, regardless of how the tournament plays out.

I can see a lot of people on here want Marlin go no matter what.

Totally. I think you’d have a story if you get a walking papers after you just finish cutting down the net.

This would be a good swan song. A nice story for sure.

That hasn't been discussed by the Ragin Pagin Basketball Jones Association...those guys want blood...

[CajunJeaux]

Paging JMV for confirmation.

He stays around if he wins the tournament per his contract. But there’s no denying that the program has gotten bland through lack of consistency on the court and lack of fun support.

2 down 2 to go. Let’s go boys!!

Happy birthday Bob

I don't necessarily believe Coach Marlin is going to retire if the Cajuns win the tournament. It may happen but I have not heard that is a certainty. I don't know how many times it needs to be repeated but here is a reminder that a conference championship (either regular season or tournament) triggers an automatic contract extension. It the Cajuns cut down the nets Monday night, it is my prediction Coach Marlin returns next season. He would not be fired in that instance. The buyout will go up with that type of extension.

Where was Brown all Season long? Our defense was good today. I have to say the coaches did a good job on game preparation.

Brown had a good game today partially due to the fact that the Bobcats do not match up well against him. He did fairly well in the game at San Marcos. Note Theo Awkuba did not play in that game due to Covid. In the game in Lafayette, Brown did not play due to the concussion. This is the first time in 3 games that both were available which really gave the Bobcats matchup problems. I believe had both bigs been available in the regular season games, the Cajuns would have won at least one of them. I also noticed in the last two games the rotation has been shortened which is a positive. Reason it did not happen earlier was because it was difficult to see separation amongst some of the guys. Personally, I agree with an earlier poster who said Dalcourt should have been seeing more time. He would often get pulled if his shot was not falling. He is a guy who can still contribute when that happens however. He plays good defense, rebounds well from the guard spot, makes his free throws, and has the personality to be a leader. Keep playing him when his shot is not falling and eventually one will fall. That happened today.

And the administration would look wasteful offering a buyout after the extension would be triggered.

All this is pure conjecture, two games left. One at a time.

One thing that hasn’t been brought up. Cajun seem to play decent with either Kobe or Jordan, but struggle with both.

Texas State board is always fun to read. Unsensored.
